Untitled comments[edit]

This article is very close to B-class, but I gave it Start-class due to the short lead paragraph. If this is expanded and a map is added, this article could easily be B-class. --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 03:57, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Acknowledged. I've added some information to the lead paragraph and will try to further increase the article's length later on. The Maps task force will have to do their thing on their own. -TheOneKEA 17:21, 31 January 2007‎ (UTC)[reply]

Routebox[edit]

I borrowed the routebox from MD 54 to accurately display the major junctions and year of decomissioning. It would be nice if the Interstate Highways WikiProject created a routebox specifically for cancelled Interstate routes. -TheOneKEA

With all due respect, I don't see something like that happening anytime soon. --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 03:55, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

shrug* Like I said, it would be nice, but it isn't a necessity. -TheOneKEA

Demolition[edit]

I reverted the recently added material because it implied that the entire length of the built highway was slated to be demolished. This is not the case, to the best of my knowledge. Right now the demolition under way is only affecting the area at the far west of the stretch that has never been open to traffic (replacing it w/a parking lot that will serve the West Baltimore MARC station). Planners would love to rip the whole thing up but as far as I understand it there are no concrete plans to rip up the stretch that people actually drive on yet. --Jfruh (talk) 15:32, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Again, the entire highway is NOT being removed -- only the stub end that never was used by traffic. See here. --Jfruh (talk) 14:23, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Highway to Nowhere[edit]

I added mention of this nickname for the highway in the lead. As my edit description says, almost everyone here in Baltimore calls it that, used in news stories, discussions about what to do about it, and colloquial everyday speech, so I believe its mention is very necessary. —Onore Baka Sama^{(speak | stalk)} 16:20, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
